Order of events on startup - JMX problems

[colin_e]

Hi,

I am curently developing a component which contains a number of EJBs. I am using JMX as a means of configuring them.

During development everything runs fine - I deploy my EJBs followed by my JMX files and it all works fine. However when I restart the server I get the following exception:

13:57:38,140 INFO [STDOUT] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb not bound
13:57:38,140 INFO [STDOUT] at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:491)

This occurs becaues JBoss is starts up my JMX component before it starts up my EJBs. So it is no surprise that the JMX component cannot find the EJB which it controls!

Any suggestions as to how to avoid this problem?

Thanks.
Colin E.

Hi darranl,
What if my session bean has a reference to other bean as follows:

<ejb-local-ref >
 <ejb-ref-name>ejb/SomeOtherEjb</ejb-ref-name>
 <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
 <local-home>...</local-home>
 <local>...</local>
 <ejb-link>SomeOtherEjb</ejb-link>
 </ejb-local-ref>

Will the dependenecy still work? I reason i ask this is, even i have a similar case(mentioned in http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=67691) if i remove this reference declaration from the ejb-jar.xml and mention a dependency on this session bean then everything works out fine. But, if i have this reference mentioned over here, then i get:

/ejb not bound exception

Sorry for hijacking the topic.
